CEO of ONE Fighting Championship™ Victor Cui stated, “ONE FC
returns to the Singapore Indoor Stadium with the most stacked
lineup of fights in the history of ONE FC. Fans in Singapore have
been eagerly awaiting the return of world-class mixed martial arts
action since our last event in October last year. Their wait is
finally over and ONE FC fans can finally experience the
exhilarating action that takes place in the ONE FC cage once again.
The card will be headlined by the ONE FC debut of Ben Askren as
he competes in Asia for the first time. Askren is the best
welterweight in the world and he gets to prove that when he takes
on Bakhtiyar
Abbasov. We have also added five bouts featuring
crowd-favorites to this historic night as ONE FC returns to
Singapore for ONE FC: HONOR & GLORY!”

Ji “The Executioner” Xian has made a reputation for himself as one
of the top mixed martial artists in China. With a background in
Sanda, Ji proved that he is the one to watch in the MMA scene when
he went undefeated in his first eight fights, capturing the Legend
Bantamweight Championship along the way. His signing with ONE FC
will provide him the opportunity to test himself against some of
the top stars in ONE FC’s stacked Bantamweight division.

Thanh “Aladdin” Vu is a Vietnamese bantamweight who is rated as one
of the best prospects in his weight class in Australia. Vu is a
decorated grappler who has placed in Grappler’s Realm Australia and
Events BJJ tournaments. Vu has proven to be a crowd favorite in ONE
FC with his all-action style and will look to return to action with
a win over the most high-profile opponent he has ever faced.

Four time muay thai and kickboxing champion, Alain “The Panther”
Ngalani, will enter the ONE FC cage again eager to entertain his
fans when he faces undefeated Chi Lewis
Parry in a heavyweight bout. Ngalani has wowed fans with his
explosive striking and he used it to devastating effect, knocking
out his opponent with a spinning wheel kick in his ONE FC
debut.

Chi
Lewis Parry is a heavyweight champion in his home country of
the United Kingdom, and has amassed an undefeated record of five
wins and no losses. Parry stands at a towering height of two meters
and prior to competing in mixed martial arts, was a professional
basketball player in the British Basketball League. He boasts the
longest reach in the ONE FC Heavyweight Division and will look to
use that advantage to propel him to victory in the ONE FC cage.

Radeem
Rahman is the first Singaporean to compete inside the ONE FC
cage. He emerged victorious in his ONE FC debut when he defeated
Susovan
Ghosh from India in ONE FC’s first event in 2011. He was
scheduled to compete in 2012 but had to take time off to deal with
an injury. Now fully recovered, Rahman looks to stamp his mark on
the ONE FC Bantamweight Division with a resounding win in front of
Singaporean fans at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Raymond
Tan is a founding member of Penang Top Team and is ranked as
one of the best bantamweights in Malaysia. He initially began
training in taekwondo before he moved into mixed martial arts as he
grew older. He is no stranger to competing in hostile territory, as
he entered Indonesia and submitted hometown favorite Brianata
Rosadhi in just 21 seconds last September.

Stephen
Langdown returns to the ONE FC cage after convincingly
defeating his opponent in his ONE FC debut. He now gets the chance
to become the first Singaporean to record two wins in the ONE FC
cage when he faces fellow undefeated prospect Casey Suire
of the United States. The bout features a clash of two of the top
prospects in ONE FC and both mixed martial artists will be
determined to keep their undefeated records intact.

Louisiana-born Casey Suire
will also be entering the ONE FC cage for the second time after his
win against Raymond Tan
in ONE FC: WARRIOR SPIRIT last November. Suire trains with
jiu-jitsu black belt Niko Han and undefeated Indonesian star
Fransino
Tirta in Indonesia, and has finished all his opponents so far.
He will look to silence the hometown crowd by finishing Langdown in
front of 12,000 fans in Singapore.

Nik
Harris is a Malaysian mixed martial artist and trains at
MuayFit alongside fellow ONE FC stars Peter Davis,
Arnaud
Lepont and Chen Yun Ting. Harris is eager to represent his
country once again after his impressive win against Indonesian
pioneer, Zuli
Silawanto, in ONE FC: WARRIOR SPIRIT last November. The young
Malaysian is relentless in going for the finish, having never gone
to a decision in all his victories. With the support of a nation
behind him, he will look to fly the Malaysian flag high by emerging
victorious in this battle.

Fighting out of Fight G in Singapore, Brad
Robinson is known for his many different talents. He is a
professional TV presenter at Cinemax and he made his professional
MMA debut in local competition in 2012 against Nik Harris,
winning via decision. Robinson wants to prove that the first win
over Harris was no fluke and with both fighters vastly improved
since that bout, this rematch will likely be vastly different.
